I almost got one of the eurorack versions a ways back. maybe I missed out. seems like a good setup. A little nitpick; this uses the pt2399, a digital echo/delay chip. not analog. nothing wrong with that thought, its used quite a lot of places to great effect.
@StephenMcLeod 4 ай бұрын
Goshdarnit you are right. Pinning! Thanks :)
@MathHammer 4 ай бұрын
Yeah, I thought it is a digital delay. It sounds really good, though.
@dr.getter7118 3 ай бұрын
To further add to the nitpick: the PT2399 is indeed a digital IC (even though it is quite rudimental, in that sense. I believe there's no software involved, it's pure digital hardware) BUT the feedback path is external to the chip, and thus completely analogue. Which means that implementations such as the one we see in the Erebus are a hybrid delay setup: digital echo, analogue feedback =)
@GrizGriztofferson 4 ай бұрын
The Erebus is great. I had a V3 (Special Edition) as my first semi-modular. Wound up selling it to fund another piece of gear, and the buyer bricked it almost immediately. To this day, I regret selling such a nice piece of equipment to someone so incompetent, but "c'est la vie." Highly recommend Dreadbox (and the Erebus) to anyone who's interested. They make great gear, and their company has a real "Mom & Pop," small-family kind of feel to it. They're in it for the right reasons. Also, their Greek mythology naming scheme is fantastic!

i agree fully with the whole deal about oscillators. you'd think a wave was just a wave but the first time i heard the square wave of a dreadbox synth tuned way down was a religious experience
@StephenMcLeod 4 ай бұрын
Quite right. The oscillators in the Vermona 14 were a similar experience for me.

There Erebus is one of the little synths I have always sort of wanted but never purchased for some reason. I like small, patchable synths at times instead of a giant modular. Sometimes less is more and it is fun even if there is more here in my studio.

I had similar feelings/experience with the Nyx. Had to sell version 1 for money to make ends meet and bought V2. I had fallen in love with the reverb in V1, V2’s was a little less desirable to me.

Great sounding jam at the end, I'm glad to see they reissued this! I really dig the onboard delay, sounds awesome. How big is this thing? Doesn't seem much bigger than a Volca? 🐀
@StephenMcLeod 4 ай бұрын
dangit, I missed the chance to measure it using my Volca Standard of Measurement scale. It's definitely a tad bigger than a volca, but not by a huge amount.

When you lay down multiple tracks into Logic with a hw synth like Erebus, do you play along live with your previous recording, or is everything pre-programmed in MIDI, and you just adjust the patch in between recordings?
@StephenMcLeod 4 ай бұрын
It depends. I experiment with different approaches. For these examples, I wrote melody lines, recorded them into Logic, then looped them while writing new lines on the sequencer that worked, and then recorded them in place.

I've had problems before, but not with this setup. I think partly because I've now got dedicated wall warts, and there isn't USB MIDI on this - so it's isolated from the computer for recording.
